What a wonderful time we had at the 
Easter Egg Hunt this year!  

The Friends of the library out did them selves this year. 
 There were over 35 children 
and their parents.
  Great job everyone! 
 If you missed it be sure to join us next year.  


The reading group's book this month is Flight Behavior 
by Barbara Kingsolver and is a very good read.  

Please feel free to come to the library and 
pick up a copy.  
You don't have to come to the discussion, 
but it's a great story.  

The Penny Social was a great success.  
The members of Historical society can certainly cook!  
I loved the historically correct costumes 
the auctioneers wore.  
Please don't miss this event next time around 
it's a lot of fun!
